Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The most probable distribution of a three-particle system having four possible energy levels, as shown in Figure 17.5 is to be stated. Whether the thermodynamic properties of such a system are determined solely by considering the most probable distribution or not is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The thermodynamic state of a large microscopic system is understood using statistical thermodynamics. The large microscopic system is separated into tiny parts known as microsystems. Each microsystem is defined by the parameters known as microstates of that system.
